- You will need to stop taking aspirin tablets, Clopidogrel tablets, Warfarin, or Heparin at least 5 days before the operation. If you are taking these medications, consult your doctor beforehand to ensure it’s safe to do so.
- Don't use aspirin and B and E vitamins and other similar medications 1 week before operation.
- If you drink alcohol, don't consume excess alcohol 2 days before the operation.
- If you are allergic to any drugs, please inform your doctor during the consultation.
- Do not smoke 24 hours before the operation if possible. Remember that smoking will extend the convalescence time.
- Bring comfortable button-down or zippered shirts or sweatshirts so you do not pull anything over your head after the operation.
- Wear comfortable clothing (sweatpants are suggested).
- Do not use any gel or sprays before the operation.
- Bring your passport with you to the hospital on the day of your operation.
Aftercare
- Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
-
Post-op care package provided for the first 5 to 7 days after surgery:
- Sebamed shampoo for everyday use
- Topical foam spray. Use before wash every day for 2 weeks. Use 20 minutes before washing hair with shampoo.
- Antibiotic cream. For use on donor area. Use 1 time per day for 5 days.
- Oral antibiotic medication. Dosage: 1 tablet 2 times per day for 5 days.
- Anti-inflammatory/anti-edema/painkiller. Dosage: 1 tablet 2 times per day for 5 days.
- Pain medication. Dosage: As needed if there is pain.
- Hat, neck pillow, headband, and bag
- Do not touch the transplanted area during the first night. You don’t need to wash your head that night. Avoid rubbing, scratching, and touching as much as possible for the first 2 weeks.
- While outdoors, cover your head with the hat the clinic provides.
- Sleep with your head elevated on 3 or 4 pillows to avoid rubbing or detaching any grafts. Sleep this way for the first 4 days to also help reduce swelling.
- Avoid alcohol for the first 2 weeks. Alcohol is a cytotoxin that affect your healing.
- Do not smoke for at least 4 weeks after the transplant as this can negatively affect your result and delay or interfere with the growth of the transplanted hair.
- You can have your hair washed at the clinic if you stay an extra day after your treatment. Otherwise you will be taught how to wash your head at home by yourself.
- Avoid touching, scratching or rubbing the transplanted area. The grafts take root in their new home and after day 10, should no longer be dislodged by accidental touch.
- Avoid sun exposure on the scalp for at least 6 months. Sunburn may affect the pigmentation of skin and can also damage transplanted hair.
- You can run or walk in the gym for the first 15 days after your transplant as long as you don't sweat too much. Don’t wipe your forehead as you may dislodge your hair grafts.
- Most of your scabs/crusts should come off by day 6. If you still have scabs, then leave the shampoo on the transplanted area a little longer (10-15 minutes) to make scabs softer and wash a little more aggressively until scabs are gone (but don’t pick them off).
- Can use skin moisturizer on the scalp if donor area is itchy.
- You can resume all physical activities and sports after the first 1 month. Avoid close contact sports for 90 days.
- You may see some pimple-like lesion called folliculitis. They behave like regular pimples and will usually subside but if you have more than 2-3, they are inflamed, or painful, contact doctor who can incise them for you.
- You will shed the transplanted hair in weeks 2-4 and this is normal.
- From week 4, you can wash your hair as normal and also cut, style, and dye your hair. Remember to only use scissors on the transplanted area for the first 6 months.

the service was brilliant...im 2 weeks into it and so far going to plan...
The pick up service was great...picked up from the airport and taken to the hotel...the hotel was not expecting my partner but was not a problem but she was always booked to come with me so I don't understand why there was confusion... Hotel was really nice...clean...the restaurant was great we had dinner both nights...the free breakfast was really good and as much as you like and loads of choice...the rooms were 5 star...we were picked up the next morning and taken to the center my partner waited all day for me and the staff she said were lovely to her...my treatment was explained fully to us both...i had lunch given to Me...the whole day was 8 hours hardly no pain...we were taken back to the hotel and picked up again the next morning to have a chat with the Dr and paid for 6 months of vitamins one month was free then taken to the airport...the service was brilliant...im 2 weeks into it and so far going to plan...my only thing I would say is the clinicians just talk and laugh amount themselves while the procedure is happening...i no they obviously don't talk English but is a bit of a downfall Good communication [Qunomedical]

Everything about the process was smooth and professional. The contact in the week leading up to my transplant was excellent and I was confident I knew the full itinerary of my trip. The driver for the transfer was waiting for me at the airport meeting point. The transfer was prompt and the hotel was clean, and had all the amenities required. The staff through tour were professional, friendly and I was comforted by the knowledge of the surgeons who were running the clinic. The surgery was as expected and I am happy with the result. I would definitely recommend smile hair clinic and Qunomedical. The whole process was smooth and there was nothing I would change.

Everything went smoothly for my visit to Smile on the 15/01/20. You guys at Qunomedical have been awesome & i would recommend anyone travelling to Turkey for a transplant to arrange this through yourselves.
Everything went smoothly for my visit to Smile on the 15/01/20. Firstly, the driver taking me to/from the airport was prompt & on time, as were the transfers to & from the clinic. I was impressed with everything about my day at Smile, Dr Erdogan was very professional as were his technicians & admin staff & all happy to answer any questions i had. The procedure itself went well, the injections weren’t much fun however nowhere near as bad or painful as i had expected. If any, then the only slight criticism i had was that everything possibly felt a bit rushed as there were 6 other guys getting a transplant on the same day but this wasn’t a huge issue. The clinic itself was very clean & seemed very well set up. No problems with my hotel either, the Holiday Inn was perfect for my visit & all staff there were very helpful, the room was comfortable also. Hoping to be as pleased with my transplant results in 12-18 months time. You guys at Qunomedical have been awesome & i would recommend anyone travelling to Turkey for a transplant to arrange this through yourselves. Always checking in, keeping me informed & quick to respond to any queries was hugely appreciated & a big thanks to Allison for all her help! The ONLY thing i feel i should mention is that i had an issue on the day of my procedure when trying to pay by cash at Smile, as i from Glasgow they would not accept Scottish bank notes as tender? I feel you guys might want to make future clients from Scotland aware of this, if i hadn’t taken my credit card with me then id have had to go home without the operation & it would have been a costly waste of time. Apart from this thanks again for everything.
